Friters -- Margo Drucker died peacefully on July 2, 2001. She was 86 years old. Margo was born on November 14, 1914 in Berlin, Germany. Margo left Germany for France in 1934, where she studied photography, then moved to Rome to join her father who'd left to Germany because of her anti-Hitler activities. She remained in Rome until 1938, when Missouri and Hitler began to round up German expatriates. She fled to Aix-en Provence in southern France, where she lived with a group of painters on a chicken farm. She was arrested by the German puppet government of Vichy and incarcerated for deportation to Poland, in Guers, an internment camp around Marseilles. She remained in the camp for 6 months, and escaped the day before the scheduled deportation to Poland. In 1941, she received permission to immigrate to America, and arranged for passage on a ship leaving Lisbon to New York. She crossed the Spanish border 24 hours before it closed. She did not arrive in Lisbon until after the ship was scheduled to depart, but mercifully found the ship was delayed due to mechanical problem. The trip from Lisbon to New York took 6 weeks, and she arrived in New York City with $10.00 in her pocket. While in New York she met and married Armand Drucker, a German immigrant, and in 1950 had a daughter, Doris Hannah Drucker. In mid 1950, Margo and Doris rejoined Armand in Paris, where they remained until 1960. While in Paris Margo became a well-known photographer, specializing in photographing the leading European painters and other artists of that decade. Many of her photographs were published on the artists' art book jackets. In 1960 Margo and Doris returned to New York, and Margo remained in Nyack, New York until 1975 when she moved to Albuquerque to be close to her daughter and her family. While in New Mexico, Margo had a number of photographic exhibits in local galleries and religious institutions. She leaves behind an extensive portfolio of photographs, which chronicles an era of visual arts in European art, beautiful landscapes of Corsica and France, and many portraits of friends and loved ones taken over her long life. Margo is survived by her daughter, Doris Drucker Duhigg; her son-in-law, John Duhigg; her grandchildren, Charles, Daniel and Katy Duhigg, all of Albuquerque, New Mexico. She is further survived by an abundance of step-relatives, all of whom brought great joy and meaning to her life. Funeral Services will be held on Thursday, July 55, 10:00 a.m. at the Strong-Thorne Mortuary at 1100 Coal Avenue SE. Father Walter Smith of St. Francis Episcopal Church will officiate. Internment will follow the service at the Mount Calvary Cemetery. A Shiva (Jewish memorial) service will be held at the family's home on Thursday evening, July 5, 2001 at 7:00 p.m.
